Imagine a cold winter morning when your vehicle starts effortlessly despite the thick transmission fluid, or a scorching summer day when your transmission maintains stable performance even during prolonged highway driving. This level of reliability is made possible by high-performance automatic transmission fluid—specifically, Mobil 1™ Synthetic ATF.

Automatic transmission fluid (ATF) plays a crucial role in a vehicle's transmission system, serving multiple functions including power transfer, lubrication, cooling, and cleaning. The choice of ATF directly impacts transmission performance, longevity, and driving experience. Mobil 1™ Synthetic ATF is engineered to meet the demands of modern high-performance vehicles.

Exceptional Performance Characteristics

Mobil 1™ Synthetic ATF is a fully synthetic, multi-purpose automatic transmission fluid that surpasses conventional ATFs in thermal stability and other critical performance metrics. Its key advantages include:

• Outstanding thermal stability and oxidation resistance: The fluid effectively resists breakdown and deposit formation under high temperatures, maintaining transmission cleanliness and optimal performance even in demanding conditions. This translates to extended drain intervals, reduced maintenance costs, and more reliable transmission operation.
• Enhanced friction characteristics: The fluid's improved long-term friction properties help maintain transmission efficiency, ensuring smooth shifting performance and potentially improving fuel economy. Smooth shifts not only enhance driving comfort but also reduce internal wear, extending transmission life.
• Superior film strength and wear protection: Mobil 1™ Synthetic ATF significantly reduces wear, protecting critical transmission components like gears and bearings by minimizing metal-to-metal contact.
• Excellent low-temperature fluidity: The fluid provides reliable lubrication even in extreme cold down to -54°C (-65°F), ensuring easy cold starts and immediate transmission operation in frigid climates.
• Exceptional shear stability: The fluid maintains viscosity stability under severe operating conditions, including heavy loads and high temperatures, ensuring consistent lubrication and protection.
• Broad compatibility: Mobil 1™ Synthetic ATF is compatible with mineral-based ATFs and common seal materials, simplifying maintenance and reducing concerns about fluid mixing in emergency situations.

Application Range

Mobil 1™ Synthetic ATF is recommended for modern high-performance vehicles including:

• Daily commuter vehicles: Provides smooth shifting and excellent wear protection for urban driving conditions.
• Long-distance travel vehicles: Maintains stable performance during extended highway driving with superior thermal stability.
• Heavy-duty vehicles: Offers robust protection for transmissions under heavy load conditions.
• Cold climate operation: Ensures reliable performance in freezing temperatures.

The fluid meets or exceeds various industry specifications including Dexron III, Ford Mercon, Mercon V, and Allison C-4 for off-highway power transmission applications.

Selecting the Right ATF

Choosing the appropriate ATF is critical for transmission health and performance. Key considerations include:

• Consulting the vehicle owner's manual for manufacturer recommendations
• Understanding required ATF specifications (Dexron, Mercon, etc.)
• Selecting reputable brands with proven performance
• Considering operating conditions and environmental factors

Mobil 1™ Synthetic ATF represents a comprehensive solution for modern transmission requirements, combining advanced performance characteristics with broad applicability. Its formulation addresses the diverse challenges faced by today's vehicles, from extreme temperatures to demanding load conditions, while helping to extend transmission life and maintain optimal performance.
